Hi,
I have had rheumathoid arthritis for 19 years. I am 24, BTW. For a long
time, I have been asking, Why? Of late, I have been asking, are there karmic
reasons? Or is it the body's response to stress and blockages? Or is it the
same thing? And if so, is it my karmic to 'suffer' for the rest of my life?
Or, if it is not karmic, can I clear out the stress and heal myself?
Redundant questions, really.
But I realized, there is only the now. The future hasn't been written yet,
and we have the power to create our own reality, to change the future
through what we do now. We also have the ability to heal the past, also
within the now. The past and future only exist in the now. Therefore, karma
only really exists in the now. It is not possible that it is my karma to be
sick in the future. There is no future. Paradoxically, I can create my own
future.
I also realized that pain and sickness are messages from the unconscious
body-mind. It is best to get grounded, stay grounded and listen to what the
messages are trying to tell me. To quote Brad Jensen: 'You don't earn it,
you learn it. "When you understand karma, it goes away." In any challenging
situation, ask yourself "What am I trying to learn here?" Then begin to act
on that principle. Experiment with your life.'
And it is true. Get grounded, fill your heart with love, love the pain,
accept the pain. Give gratitude for the pain, and for everything that has
ever happened in the past/present/future to create that pain. When you are
filled with love and peace, ask what the pain is trying to tell you.
Breathe, and wait. You will receive an answer. When you finally hear what
the unconscious body-mind is trying to tell you, surrender the message to
God/dess, and if you need to act on it, ask God/dess to take control of your
actions...and enjoy the process.
I realize I am probably blatantly paraphrasing the words of others here (and
you know who you are!!!) but it is something that works for me...so I am
sharing it. And reaffirming it to myself.
I do not know if I am meant to be arthritic in the future. But I realize
that the only way to be healthy in the future is to clear my
karma/blockages/negative energy/etc. in the Now. And if I am not meant to be
healthy in future......clearing karma is still something rewarding and fun.
And I have asked God/dess to help me find ways to clear my karma. And the
personal methods I have been given are laughter, hilarity, absurdity,
ridiculousness, tantra, love, service to others without being a martyr,
writing, talking, singing.......and I am having so much fun with it!!! I
always thought clearing karma was this huge laborious effort....but it is
becoming effortless and a non-stop celebration!!! And the end results are
beginning to matter less and less..'cause I'm having too much fun NOW!!!!!!
I dunno if it was unconcious prophesy of the future when I decided to give
myself the handle WhimsicalZephyr......but I am enjoying embracing the
unfolding creative chaos of my life. Sometimes ya just feel like jumping
into a windstorm for the pure hell of it........remembering that sometimes
it is best to go to the Eye of the Tornado....the calm silent peace of the
Heart, the Witness State. Both are fun. I think perhaps in future I shall
learn to be in both simultaneously.....wrapped up in playing the game while
watching the game. Or maybe I'm doing it right now without even realizing
it!!!! To ridiculousness......
To bring this post back to pain; there is joy in pain. There is always a
silver lining. And ask to be shown wherin lies the perfection, and you will
receive the answer. 'Seek and ye shall find....knock and the door shall be
opened.' Again, my solar plexus and heart are going off into giggles, a
pagan pansexual witch quoting the Bible!!!!! Burn me at the stake,
baby......wrap me around my spinal cord, and light my roots with K-fire.
So, the next time you have pain, repeat the following: 'Stop, drop, get
grounded.' If the pain is unbearable, take a painkiller. Then ''Stop, drop,
get grounded.' Love the pain, talk to the pain, be the pain. Thank the pain.
Wait for the pain to talk back. Find out what you need to know, act on it if
action is needed. Let God/dess guide your actions. Realize that it is not
possible that it is your karma to suffer in the future; the future doesn't
exist!! Karma can only affect you in the now....clear the karma in the now,
and the pain usually dissolves into love. And, if like me, you're kicking
yourself for being a stupid ego-oriented person who is so base as to be so
unduly concerned with ego needs like health, realize that wanting to feel
better is the carrot driving the ass. Follow Dr. Sabrina's prescription;
take two painkillers (anti-inflammatory and codeine), and call God/dess in
the morning. I can't guarantee it will work, but it will produce better side
effects than the stuff recommended by M.D.s.
Realize of course that those last two sentences were a joke. (Paranoid
disclaimer here; I don't want anyone getting hopped up on codeine because of
my advice!)
BTW, if I appear to be displaying traits of K-mania here, someone grab my
ankle and haul me back down to earth, would ya? I don't think my silliness
is indicative of K-psychosis.....but crazy people usually have to be told
they're crazy, right?
Hugs and Giggles to All!!!!
Sabrina
